1. The ultimate budget system

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| سی پی یو | E350 1.6GHz | £0 | E450 1.65GHz | £0 | A 50MHz increase. Feeble! |
| Motherboard | Asus E35M1‑M Pro | £99 | Asus E45M1‑M Pro | £106 | Not much change in a year |
| رام | Kingston 4GB DDR3-1333 kit | £20 | Corsair 8GB DDR3-1333 kit | £28 | Double your رام for £8? Why not… |
| Storage | Crucial M4 64Gb | £80 | OCZ Agility 4 128Gb | £80 | Double the SSD capacity and add some speed for the same money — excellent |
| Optical drive | ڈی وی ڈی–RW | £17 | ڈی وی ڈی-RW | £13 | Non-BD drives continue to fall in price |
| Power supply | Corsair CX430 V2 | £35 | HuntKey Jumper 300 | £39 | A higher quality PSU for nearly the same money |
